Good one. I don't know that I'd really blame Jacare for the last fight. The fight wasn't terrible either.  Didn't have a ton of fireworks but it was interesting.  Sometimes the styles between two guys just works out that way.

That's one of the few Strikeforce or UFC cards in recent memory that I never saw.

I didn't see that fight either.  I like where Tim Kennedy is coming from, but I wonder how much of this talk is just him being pissed off about losing a 5 round decision to Souza.  He has finished his opponent in all but one of his wins though.  There's no doubt that there are a lot of fighters these days who are taking a much more conservative approach to the game in order to stay near the top or in the UFC.

Good interview.
